Side Quest

It hurts

Knowing what you’ve done

Being part of the damage you’ve caused

Though I haven’t seen you in years

You’re the same

It’s like you cannot change

That cycle that you’re stuck in

I look back- constantly wishing to change the past

It hurts

More than words can possibly describe

I want to hate you

Looking around I see others

Oh so happy to see their mothers

When I was small you were on such a pedestal

Now you’re on the bottom shelf

I cannot face the demons for you

So for now I set you aside

Like a quest I cannot complete quite yet

I know you’re there

Yet you’re not all there

Maybe I’ll try again some day

But for now you’ll sit alone on that shelf

Gathering dust

Because it hurts too much…
